Outside the Galaxy Sect, seven elders arrived. Except for one who was human, the rest were all outsiders.
One of them was wrapped entirely in a black cloak, surrounded by black energy. Through the gaps in the cloak, it was clear that what lay inside was not flesh and blood, but a skeleton.
All seven were innate Heavenly Venerables, the only human Heavenly Venerable warrior, dressed in the Tenglong robe, clearly from Longteng Trading Company.
Seven Innate Heavenly Venerables descended simultaneously. Although they did not intimidate anyone, their auras sent chills down one's spine.
Normally, even a single Innate Heavenly Venerable could make people tremble, but now seven people descended at once, the pressure was terrifying.
Usually, Guo Ran would dare to act like he didn't care about anyone, but now he couldn't. He could only stand obediently behind Long Chen. Although he tried to show he wasn't nervous, he found it was simply impossible to do so.
Besides him and Xia Chen, Huang Hui was also present, along with more than a dozen Earth Venerable experts from the Xinghe lineage—they were all the backbone here.
Seeing so many Innate Heavenly Venerables arrive, their expressions changed; it seemed these people had come with ill intentions.
"What's wrong?" You found a few helpers and want to settle accounts with me? Long Chen glanced at the people around him and curled his lips.
Among these guys, except for the one from Longteng Trading Company, it seemed he couldn't beat any of them. But he wasn't afraid; he knew these people wouldn't dare lay a hand on him.
The elder of Longteng Trading Company cleared his throat and said, "I didn't come this time to settle the scores between us."
Our Longteng Trading Company is a businessman. Today, we are here on behalf of a client to discuss business with you. The
elder of Longteng Trading Company's voice was somewhat hoarse and his expression somewhat tense. After hearing this, Long Chen immediately understood.
It turned out this guy was forced to come forward and had no choice but to accompany these people. It was obvious that these strange people were after the Qiankun Cauldron in Long Chen's hand.
"You want to buy the bronze cauldron in my hand?" Long Chen glanced at the other powerful figures.
"Do you really have the Qiankun Cauldron in your hand?"
The creature, covered in white bones, spoke. Its voice was not human but like syllables formed by the friction of bones, piercing straight into the soul and causing great discomfort.
Long Chen glanced sideways at the skeletal being and said, "That's a bit unsophisticated. How would I know if the bronze cauldron in my hand is the Qiankun Cauldron?"
When I got this bronze cauldron, I had no idea where it came from. It was Longteng Trading Company that kept insisting that the cauldron in my hand was the Qiankun Cauldron.
What is Longteng Trading Company? That's a famous businessman with a reputation—would he lie?
If you offer a reasonable price, I'll make the offer. Honestly, I'm a very sincere person.
As for whether it's true or not, what are you afraid of? Anyway, Longteng Trading Company is guaranteed. If you get scammed, it's Longteng Trading Company that tricks you. Why don't you just team up and smash Longteng Trading Company?
Longteng Trading Company is a big family. As long as you can be like me, I guarantee you'll earn more than you lose, and you can rest on your heart. "
Long Chen's words frightened the old man of Longteng Trading Company, his face turning pale. He hurriedly said, "
Don't talk nonsense. When did we ever say we would be a guarantor?"
"If you don't guarantee anything, how did you spread the rumors? Back in Ziyan Heaven, you all kept saying that the bronze cauldron in my hand was the Qiankun Cauldron.
What's wrong? Changing your mind now? How can your mouths be so irresponsible? Do you still expect your mouths to give you a child or not? Long Chen shouted angrily.
"Our mouths are the mouths, how can we have a son or a daughter?" The old man was left dumbfounded by the scolding.
"If it's just talk, why do you keep saying things? You are businessmen. If you go back on your word, who would do business with you? Someone like you still wants to negotiate business with me? Are you here to mess with me? Get lost. Long Chen pointed at the old man's nose and cursed loudly, spitting all over the man's face.
The old man was both shocked and furious, but unable to refute it. Back in Ziyan Heaven, they had indeed insisted that it was the Qiankun Cauldron.
But later, to avoid taking responsibility, it was changed to a "suspected" Qiankun Cauldron. They had no idea about the origin of the bronze cauldron in Long Chen's hand.
But Long Chen used the bronze cauldron to shake the immortal divine weapon and unseal the primordial winged demon. That scene was witnessed by countless people. Now, whether the bronze cauldron was the Qiankun Cauldron made many suspicious.
Sure enough, six powerful figures from different races approached Longteng Trading Company to verify the whole story, wanting to find out whether the Qiankun Cauldron in Long Chen's possession was real or fake.
Longteng Trading Company was stunned. How could they know if it was real or fake? If it's true, but if it's fake, they'll offend countless people. If it's fake, it's like playing with everyone—they'll offend countless people too.
They hadn't expected things to escalate to this point, so Longteng Trading Company started making all sorts of excuses, neither claiming it was true nor fake, and started playing tricks.
This angered some people. The six in front of them flipped the table, demanding that Longteng Trading Company give an answer.
What kind of answer could Longteng Trading Company give? With no other choice, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to bring them along to seek confirmation from Long Chen.
Longteng Trading Company and Long Chen were mortal enemies, so showing up so shamelessly was a tremendous humiliation.
The old man before him was just an unlucky guy. Assigned a task, he didn't dare refuse. He had to endure Long Chen's humiliation and fear angering the six elders around him. So now, he felt like a bone stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his back, extremely uncomfortable.
"Take out your bronze cauldron and show us." The bone-skeletal creature said coldly.
"You say you can just take it out?" What's your surname? Long Chen said disdainfully.
"I come from the Bone Demon Wilderness."
The bone-skeletal creature said coldly. He didn't understand Long Chen's meaning and thought Long Chen was asking about his origin, so he directly revealed his identity.
"Don't give me those useless things. Right now, you're the ones begging me to buy things, not me. You need to remember.
Since you're asking me, you need to be sincere and humble. I don't care about your cultivation or status. I'll say it again: lower your stance, got it? Long Chen approached the skeletal being, glaring as he spoke.
"Huff!"
The skeletal creature was furious, black energy swirling around it as if about to go berserk, and killing intent instantly spread.
"Who are you trying to scare? Why don't you try making a move? Long Chen said disdainfully.
Sure enough, the skeletal creature still didn't dare to move. He was also afraid of the curse of misfortune. Now that the Saint King Assembly had officially begun, making a move now would almost guarantee a hit.
"Hehe, that's more like it. When it comes to business, you have to keep everyone friendly. That's how you can make the deal happen." Seeing that the skeletal being dared not make a move, Long Chen chuckled.
Long Chen looked at the elder of Longteng Trading Company and said,
"If you want to buy my bronze cauldron, that's not impossible. However, I have one condition."
Hearing Long Chen say this, the old man was overjoyed and hurriedly asked,
"What conditions?"
